I have no idea why they thought it was ready to go live in the first place though...

Some other stuff - enemy ships were being really weird. They seemed really easy to sink (I hadn't played on Ali in a while, but Reapers going down in three hits? I think I'd remember that...), and the one skelly that did start shooting at me shot only lightning in a constant stream (between the broadsides and cannons); never saw a normal cannonball and never saw any hesitation between shots (another count against the game in terms of fairness - everything we do has to recharge, and we don't get any fancy schmancy broadsides).
Ships also were sailing funny - sharp turns and weird paths. Though, I had a couple that were headed right for me turn and head the other way instead of attacking (kind of like what they used to do with each other). That tweak didn't bother me so much. LoL

Also, enemies were "triggered" from much farther away - I couldn't run through anywhere without having half the guys on me. They also seemed to follow a lot longer than they used to (in fact, I don't think I saw one disengage, though it could be because they annoyed me so much with their baby attacks [which, of course, slowed me] from really far away, and never stopped, that I turned around and flamed them before they had a chance to).
